First off I would make sure your machine meets the minimum spec as per SmartBear requirements. I believe it is 6GB RAM minimum for running Test Complete. I run with 8GB on my test machines to test IE.
Second, are there multiple IE processes / tabs getting opened and staying open during your test run? Also, if you are opening and closing IE multiple times during a test run you might want to make sure the IE processes are terminated within a reasonable timeframe as they seem to hand around in the Windows OS for a while.

I have 8GB Ram. I am only openning one instance of IE while testing, but at least 2 iexplore processes are then showing when this happens. And I am not openning and closing IE at this time. I would like to try to avoid openning and closing IE if possible, because this happens at random places in my scripts, and I would need to store where it stopped, but customer/policy/claim record was open at the time and then have the scripts reopen that customer/policy/claim and navigate back to the same spot it was at.
As a temporary workaround, I would like to know if there was a way just to clear the IE memory without actually closing the IE windows.

You might also want to try disabling TabProcGrowth for IE in the registry as per these SmartBear recommendations for improving test performance..

Assuming you are talking about clearing the cache in IE programatically? I would imagine its unlikely you can do this as modifying the cache programatically would be a security risk.
